The Chicco silicone pacifier is not liked by the baby and triggers a gag reflex. How can I choose a suitable model?

Refusal of a pacifier or a gag reflex can be caused by:

Incorrect nipple shape (too large, long, or firm)

Mismatch with the baby’s age group

Individual preferences of the baby

How to choose a suitable pacifier:

Choose one with an anatomical or orthodontic shape

Pay attention to the size:

0–2 months: smallest and softest

2–6 months: medium-sized

Try natural latex pacifiers (softer than silicone)

Some babies need several attempts with different models before accepting a pacifier

Recommended alternatives:

Philips Avent Soothie

MAM Perfect
